Problem of unequal thickness welding
Thread Content
For a head and cylinder with an inner diameter of 2800, where the wall thickness of the head is 12 and that of the cylinder is 6, what is the best way to handle this? Is it possible to avoid thinning the head, weld it directly, and then perform surfacing welding for magnetic particle testing?
Consider locally increasing the thickness of a thinner layer to facilitate trimming at the thicker areas.
How to understand increasing the thickness of thin plates to accommodate trimming?
Those who have experience in welding dissimilar-thickness heads and cylinders, please share your insights
The thickness of the thinner piece is too low. With a diameter of 2800, if cladding is to be used, welding deformation must be controlled; this method should be chosen carefully. Trimming the edges is a safer approach.
Trimming. . . It’s the simplest and fastest way. .
Why is surfacing necessary? Deformation and appearance shaping also need to be considered. The 2800 model has a 6mm thickness, which is too thin. Trim it! The easiest and simplest way.
